Re: [APML] "look at my CCD image"

Josef;  (Boy!  That's hard to type, I'm 'Joseph' :)

      Please understand, Josef, 'you' were not being singled out for your
post of NGC3628.  NGC3628 is one of my favorite film challenges and I
enjoyed studying it.  It just so happened that your APML post was the one
which, being lazy as we all are, happened to be chosen to express our
concerns.  I and I think many others enjoy CCD images, but we subscribed
to a film list.  This list lately has been highly populated with CCD
posts.  My intent in agreeing with Bobby was to 'remind' us all of the
purpose of APML.  I thought about and feared the flame war to follow but I
decided to post any way for the benefit of my intent to remind.

     Conversely, all the CCD posts have gotten me thinking about joining a
CCD list just to see what I've been missing.  Wow, another 35+ eMails to
go through daily.  Humm!  I think I'll think about that for a while...joe
